I don't have a real answer without some more info, but I can list a few
things to check or try.

Look for any conflicts or anything else unusual in these files:

/proc/bis/pci/devices
/proc/interrupts
/proc/ioports
/proc/pci
/proc/modules

Have you tried compiling it into the ketnel instead of loading it as a
module?  I've always thought that something like a network card which is
always in use should be compiled into it anyway.

Did you do `make modules ; make modules_install` after `make bzImage` ? 
...or did you do the rpm thing?
